WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (!)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DB jump squat 15s x 5,5

- bench 195 x 5,5,5
third set easier than first.

- BB row 145 x 8,8,8
should drop weight and do these more horizontal, focus on the squeeze. no body english at 145 but form should be better.

- stretch

short and sweet.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, low back but very minor on both
MENTAL STATE: great

- warm up

- jumps x ~15
near-PR levels, easy double hand rim grab on first four-step jump of the day, which is unheard of. easy dunks with the dodgeball. comfortably 36 on a couple. drop-off pretty steep as more volleyball players started showing up and taking over the court. not mad.

- squat 225 x 5; 235 x 5,5
low back/SI joint tightness there during warm up but it went away or at least stayed very quiet. no stiffness or discomfort now.

- bench 200 x 5,5,5
strong

- kroc row 80 x 23L, 23R

- assisted natural GHR x 8,8,8

- inverted row x 10,10,10

- rudiment hops

- MR half tuck x 15,15

- stretch

awesome workout, best in a long time.  :highfive:

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

It's really weird how gains sometimes choose to display themselves out of a sudden... like with no notifications at all beforehand haha.

What if the injury you're having isn't limiting you all that much but did enough stuff to make you change your mechanics in a good way instead... that would be pretty weird and cool.

yeah i dunno. i always seem to jump better after an extra day of rest, for one thing.

i keep revisiting the double-hand rim grab, it was so unexpected. i almost never go up with two hands but i did unconsciously on that jump and grabbed easily with both hands. such a great feeling.

^ I think the key word in ALL of that is "unconsciously". Everything is done quicker/faster/better when its from reaction/instinct vs a thought out process. And you always look very thought out whrn you jump ;)

Fwiw whenever I feel like Im thinking too much I do something else for a minute then jump again, like a short brain reset.

yeah that's a good point. felt very unconscious. i wonder if part of it was having spectators that i was interacting with, too. i usually jump better alone, but that's not true if i've been talking with the other people who are there. hm.
